Cinnamon Almond Butter Hummus

To all the haters who aren’t into dessert hummus…I really just don’t understand you.

Why should the savory flavors have all the fun? Chickpeas are literally a blank slate. The perfect vessel for all types of ingredients. If roasted red peppers should be allowed in hummus, so should chocolate!

Or in this case, almond butter. And cinnamon. And maple syrup.

I was super into chocolate hummus for awhile. But almond and peanut butter truly have my heart. They’re basically their own food group, in my opinion. And now that we’re heading into summer, I know I’ll be wanting something to dip all those fresh fruits in.

And. This. Is. PERFECT.

Creamy and sweet, this tasty snack is a cinch to make and I’ve been gobbling it up nonstop. I’ve been doing some serious running and hiking lately and the extra chickpea and almond protein is much appreciated! I couldn’t tell you why, but the smell of it is absolutely intoxicating. It 100% smells like French Toast, which makes it all that more delicious!
